On this the 18 th day of April, 1836, personally appeared before the undersigned an acting Justice of the peace in and for the County aforesaid John Dalley, a resident citizen of said County, now in the 83 rd year of his age, who being first duly qualified according to Law, doth upon his oath, make the following statement and explanation of his services as a Soldier in the war of the Revolution. (viz)
 1 st This Declarant has been at no little pains in making enquiry as to the date and length of his first tour, which he was hitherto under the impression of was six months duration, but in this he may have been mistaken, and learns from those that served at that period, tho' they were out six months, it was termed a Five months tour , and to this term modifies his statement - In this tour this Declarant volunteered in the United States Service and from the best information he can procure it commenced not in the Spring 1780, as he had first believed, but in the fall of the year before Ashe's defeat, say the 15 th October 1778, confining it to five months duration will make the 15 th of March, for his return home - but this declarant feels well assured now that it was in April following before he reached home. but he will modify this to a Five months tour , he was under the impression, it was in this tour, and when in Salisbury they heard of Genl. Lincoln's surrender, but in this he must have been mistaken and that it must have been subsequently and in a tour he was under command of Colonel McCauley, but the length of the tour, under Col. McCauley & particulars he cannot now enumerate. and omits any claim for it - In this months tour - we rendezvous in the town of Hillsboro' (Orange Court House) Thompson was Captain, - Lewis led the Regiment, crossed Hock River at Galbreath's ferry, thence to Guilford Court House, where we were joined several other Companies under led: Locke he thinks - marched to Salisbury - to Charlotte then into South Carolina - marched down the main Charleston Road - to the Savannah River, was at Galphin's - and was at the Black Swamp where Genl. Rutherford lay some time - and while at this encampment he thinks they heard of the defeat at Briar Creek, and where some of the months men from Ashe joined us - On my return home we came up the West side of the river, and were discharged by Col: Lewis at the Cherokee in South Carolina.  2 nd This Declarant volunteered a second time in the United States Service as correctly as he can now, on or about the 15 day of May 1781, It was a short time after the Guilford Battle - Green's army was at that time in 

In South Carolina - Thompson was a gain captain of the Company I was in on Lytle was Lieut. Lewis he thinks was Col: after the Regiment - Croft Haw River at Cross's Ford, went to Genl. Dudley's encampment on Dup River, and remembers when they reached Dudley's Camp, it was the 1 st day of June (1781-) after staying there a few days, perhaps a week, we proceeded South. We were at York about 2 weeks, then saw Hills on the Santee River - (and remembers of falling in with Sumpter on the Santee and was at some other places in South Carolina; but does not now remember them well enough to enumerate - I do not remember distinctly when I got my discharge, but my impression now is, that it was in Hillsboro - but this I remember it was just 5 days after I got home. When I again volunteered in a tour, after Col. Fanning - who had just surprised and captured the Ford of Hillsboro - allowing two weeks, from the time I volunteered this second time, till I reached Dudley's Camp, it will make this tour three months and 19 days - tho' I am under the impression I was longer out than three months & nineteen days - but I will claim only that length for the second tour.
3. I volunteered the 15 th Sept. 1781, in a Company of Militia Commanded by Capt. Dodge, Scoby Lieut.: I was out in this tour three months and two weeks - this tour this Declarant proves by John Minnis & R d Browning. whose affidavits are hereto annexed - as that of James Williams - (and Minnis, in proof of the foregoing - 4. This Declarant volunteered a fourth time in a Co of Militia in the United States Service, on or about 20 th January 1782, (fist) for three months; William Jamison was Capt. - Riley Lieut. Thornton Col: I was employed in guarding the Ford of Hillsboro - at the expiration of my three months tour, (when I got a discharge therefor from Col. Thornton) I sub- stituted for Thomas Horton, and served for him another tour, wanting but one week - which will make five months and three weeks I served in guarding the Ford of Hillsboro! making in all seventeen  months three weeks & five days . See William Paris's Deposition - And this Declarant further states upon his oath, that by reason of old age and its consequent attendant loss of memory, he cannot swear more positively as to the precise length of his service; but according to the best of his recollection & information he served not less than seventeen months, three weeks  and five days , that he has procured the affidavits of the Rev d Thomas Reeves, John Jeffreys & Robert Graham - with whom the Hon: William Montgomery, in Congress is acquainted, and can attest to this good standing &c.
